Vallejo again demanded explanations over the G. 500,000 million from the Municipality of Asunción

Asunción deputy Rocío Vallejo again raised the issue of the destination of the G. 500,000 million linked to the Municipality of Asunción bond case and said that, more than a year after Óscar “Nenecho” Rodríguez left office, there is still no clear answer about that money.

According to ABC Color, Vallejo recalled during the floor debate that Rodríguez’s resignation was preceded by the final report from the intervention official Carlos Pereira, which she described as devastating, and questioned why there has still been no criminal investigation by the Prosecutor’s Office.

In her remarks, the lawmaker said it is not known where the G. 500,000 million belonging to Asunción residents is and warned that the cost will ultimately fall on taxpayers. She also stressed that the amount grows because of interest and other surcharges.

Vallejo also pointed at current mayor Luis Bello, Rodríguez’s successor, for keeping the same team and for the continuity of what she described as “mafias” within the municipality. In that context, she mentioned complaints involving consumer protection, asphalt and signs.

Still according to ABC Color, the deputy’s remarks prompted a response from Rodríguez on social media. The former mayor challenged Vallejo to identify which bond would have been issued for that amount and which works were involved.

Senator Lizarella Valiente also weighed in and accused the opposition of spreading a falsehood. According to the publication, she said that the next day she could show in the chamber where the money is.

Vallejo, for her part, also responded through social media and reaffirmed her claim regarding the G. 500,000 million from the Municipality of Asunción.
